Problems solved by technology

Providers of a VoIP network often have no efficient means to verify that calls to the block of phone numbers are properly routed to the VoIP network.
Phone calls placed manually to check provisioning may result in toll charges for completed calls and / or an annoying ringing on the telephone number owner's telephone.
Such an approach is often time-consuming, and expensive, sometimes requiring hours or days to reconstruct a call flow.

Embodiment Construction

[0033] One or more embodiments of the present invention are related to systems and methods for placing voice calls through a network, and more particularly to systems and methods for verifying the routing of a call through a network.

[0034] Some embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for verifying routing and / or provisioning of numbers in a network. The systems and methods can be implemented using computers and computer software. Such computer software can be maintained on a computer readable medium. As used herein, the term “computer readable medium” is used in its broadest sense to mean any storage device accessible to a computer. Thus, for example, a computer readable medium can be a hard disk drive, a RAM, a floppy diskette, a CD ROM, an EEPROM, a magnetic tape, and / or the like. In some cases, the computers and / or computer software can communicate via a network. In particular, the computers can be communicably coupled to a network and / or each other. As ...

Abstract

According to various embodiments of the present invention, systems and methods for verifying the routing of a call through a network, including: generating an outbound call from a test tool in a first network, the outbound call including a test key and a destination number, the destination number being associated with a communication device accessible to first network, routing the outbound call to second network, receiving outbound call from second network in the form of inbound call to first network, the inbound call including the test key and the destination number, accessing the test key, and based at least in part on the test key, routing the inbound call to the test tool. In some instances, call tracking information may be collected, analyzed, and / or displayed.
